80/40: Two Generations, Two Different Worlds
16m | Oct 20, 2026Diane Gilman and Nyna Gilpin look at how much the world has changed between their generations—and whether growing up today is a completely different experience.
From the optimism of the baby boomers to a world shaped by social media, changing beauty standards, and an uncertain future, they discuss what younger generations are up against and what older generations might not fully understand.
They get into career expectations, the pressure to look young, the role of self-discipline in longevity, and the strange new world of AI-generated celebrities. If digital stars can look, sound, and perform like real people, what happens to authenticity—and who owns a person's face and identity?
It's a conversation about growing up in different times, what each generation takes for granted, and what the future might look like as technology changes the rules again.
